What is sustainable living? It is a lifestyle that strives to decrease the use of the Earth's natural resources. It is also called "earth harmony living" or "net-zero living". The 3R concepts (reuse, reduce, recycle) are actually a way of sustainable living.

The main purpose of sustainable living is to reduce garbage to protect the environment. Having a good environment will naturally improve the quality of life. If you can live more comfortably, why not do it? Below are the 18 tips to start a high-quality green life!
